Maybe we’ll start making things in America.

Just kidding. Carry on.

Okay. How bout a little ingenuity here? How can these ships be offloaded while anchored in the harbors?

Democrats are measuring our economy by consumption, not production. What happens when it cannot consume?

Weird coincidence .... Costco and Sams have recently begun limiting TP to one/order, again.

Why?

Isn’t TP made here?

Maybe the ‘components’ are not?

I sure wouldn’t want to be piloting a ship in those waters.

Should have built the bridge-tunnel Russia to Alaska and the necessary RR infrastructure from Alaska to the lower U.S. many years ago...

Freight trains from EU, China, and the sub-continent would have avoided this containership problem and lowered the transportation costs...

We could have let someone form Alaska able to see Russia from her front porch be in charge of collecting the tolls...

We used to make all that stuff right here in the good old U.S.A. But then we weren’t paying people to not work.
